Thank you for your answers !

I’ll take the train (4h) and come back the next day from Dulles with Jetblue (65$, same as the train, but with IFE and leather seat, looks cool).

I’ll write a little debriefing when I come back.

Hi,

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I’m planning a trip to New York in November, and of course, I’d love to visit aviation related things.

I just learned that the USS Intrepid will be closed 🙁 So I plan to stay 2 days at Washington to visit both Smithsonian museums (the one on the Mall and the other near Dulles).

Here are my questions:
– How long does a serious visit of each museum last ? I don’t plan to make walkaround pictures of all airplanes, but I want to have time to really enjoy ?
– What is the best way to reach DC from NYC ? I think about going by train, and then returning by air from Dulles.

Thank you for your help !

It looks like the “famous” Carlo Kopp did his thesis on that subject :

APG-77 acting as an HPM would also mean that the F-22 could kill any opponent that enters its emission cone in a dogfight, or shoot down any detected incoming missile… an invulnerable plane ???

(By the way, it’s my first post in this forum, so I would like to say hello to everybody ! 😉
